This melt-in-the-mouth tender Italian chicken orzo recipe is the perfect one-pan meal that will quickly become a household favorite.
Ensure even cooking: Slice chicken breasts evenly to ensure they cook uniformly and stay juicy.
Prevent sticking: Stir the orzo occasionally while simmering to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Deglaze thoroughly: Scrape up all the browned bits when deglazing the pan with white wine to incorporate extra flavor.
Watch the liquid levels: Keep an eye on the liquid levels during simmering; add more broth if necessary to avoid burning.
Adjust seasonings: Taste and adjust seasonings near the end of cooking to ensure the flavors are balanced.
Garnish fresh: Garnish with fresh basil just before serving for a burst of flavor and color.
Let it rest: Allow the dish to sit for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld, and the orzo absorb any remaining liquid.
